    • To install the new cabin air filter, simply insert it into the compartment where you took out the old filter.

The dealer wanted something like $56 for the filter. But the best part is it was $150 to install it. This is ridiculous I got two carbon filters for $18 from Amazon so I’ll have an extra one. I didn’t know if you had to change it Every 16,000 miles. Mine is really old so this is an excellent guide very simple I know which way the arrow points now this is really outstanding. I used to be an auto mechanic and engineer in Detroit, but I don’t think I would’ve figured this out. It was perfect. This is a great great God.
